In my piece I deal with a couple of issues I’ve been following up on the transmission of the Shepherd, which are incredibly persistent in Greek, Coptic as well as Latin:

“Dating, Split-Transmission Theory, and the Latin Reception of the Shepherd of Hermas”

Here goes the TOC of the issue, for convenience:
